The double-row stringed Konghou is a new type of plucked stringed musical instrument in my country. The double-row string konghou has a height of 175 cm and a bottom length of 85 cm. There is a column on one side of the bass string, which is a frame-type vertical konghou. The sound box is made according to the harp. Above the headstock and the peg board, there is a phoenix about to fly carved in the shape of a "phoenix looking back".
Zhang has 88 strings, which are installed in two rows between the peg board and the piano box. Each row has 44 strings. The pronunciation of each two corresponding strings is the same, that is, 44 tones. —e4, for a total of six octaves. G-e2 in the string row is the vibrato area. The design principle of "lever transmission for both strings" is adopted here. The structure is very unique. It uses the lever device to make the tension of the two strings of the same tone equal. When playing the left string At the same time, you can also press down the right string at the same time, so that the tension of the left string also increases correspondingly with the right string, so as to obtain a zither-like depressing vibrato effect.

In addition to using the fingerings of Guqin, Guzheng and Pipa, it also absorbs the playing skills of the harp. It can play Chinese and foreign music, especially in playing Chinese music with a strong ethnic style is more beautiful and beautiful.
